It is a solid piece of furniture, with lots of storage and a nice look that compliments many room styles. Almost no odor so common in products now. Extremely well-packed for delivery, and no damage/mars/problems at all!! I had it delivered to room of choice, then had to remove all the packaging and position the bookcase the last 2 to 3 feet into place. It's solid, but not so heavy that I couldn't shift it bit by bit myself (60 year old, 5 ft tall woman!). Once in place, I love it! Especially at the discount price that I paid for it. Was nervous ordering, because even the discount price was more than I spend without a lot of thought. But I have no regrets.
